i spent a few hours getting my HEAD modules using the new core
install hook. i found the developer docs to be just a bit confusing,
but was able to get things right after a bit.
anybody who's interested in looking at some working examples, see
eventrepeat.install or signup.install in HEAD contrib. since the
hook is called from a full bootstrap, you can actually do a heck of a
lot more than just install tables--in my case i also displayed some
user messages regarding the status of the module installation, and in
eventrepeat's case, i invoked eventrepeat_cron() to autopopulate a
table w/ current date information. i'm loving this change! :)
